“I am looking forward to a special announcement this Saturday in my home town of Goose Creek, S.C..” reads a post at NancyMace.net. “Please join us at 9:00am at the Berkeley County GOP Breakfast at the American Legion Post, 116 Howe Hall Road.”

Graham (R-S.C.) has weathered criticism from some conservative South Carolinians who argue that he is too willing to compromise on certain key issues. Businessman Richard Cash has already announced a challenge and some tea party activists have long threatened to challenge the senator in a primary.
